AN: I am not JK Rowling.
"I can't believe you married Loony Lovegood and Uncle Severus gets to bang your sister!" Draco said happily from his hammock. Ron was sitting on the couch his head in his hands. Harry was next to him trying to give him some comfort but froze when Draco mentioned Ginny. Neville was staring out the small window the room had provided us and I was staring blankly at the ceiling.
"Shut it Malfoy!" Ron spat his eyes dark. I was twirling my finger around one of my curls trying to figure out how Ron and Luna could have possibly gotten together.
"You know I always thought you and Granger would get together. After all you make an awfully cute couple." I bit my lip hard. Draco was such a stupid prat.
"Why do you have to be such an asshole?" I froze my eyes wide and turned to Neville. He was still staring out the window as if he had said nothing, but we had all heard it. "Your all bark but no bite. Do you really think they want to hear you say shit like that?"
"Go Nev!" Harry said his eyes bright. Draco flushed a bright red and ducked down in his hammock so we couldn't see him. Ron turned to me a pained look on his face.
"I think I'm going to go to bed." I muttered quickly and ducked down in my hammock. It took me a long time to get to sleep that night. I fell asleep around one in the morning but it wasn't a nice restful sleep it was full of nightmares like usual. Most prominent were the dementors or the basilisk that petrified me in my second year.
I was half asleep when I got ready the next morning. Draco for once was quiet and I absently changed my appearance as I got ready. Ron had a strained look on his face and Neville's was blank, emotionless. It was well known how much he liked Luna and his silence was more nerve wracking than anything else.
I changed the other's appearances again while Draco did his own. He absently flicked his wand again and my hair was wavy instead of bushy. I smiled in thanks and his eyebrows pulled together before he nodded once in return.
"Lets go I'm starving." Ron said half-heartidly trying to sound excited. No one was fooled but everyone ignored it and headed towards the door. We walked to the great hall and sat at our usual spot. Ron ate half the amount of food he usually did and Neville only pushed his food around his plate.
A pretty Hufflepuff came darting over to us a shy smile on her face. She was making eyes at Draco and I rolled my eyes absently eating a plum.
"Hi Drake." She said her voice wobbling.
"Hello Alice." Draco said sliding down in his seat. Apparently he didn't like her.
"I was wondering what you were doing for the Hogsmeade trip?" She asked pushing her blonde curly hair over her shoulder. Draco shifted uncomfortably his green eyes narrowed in thought. I thought quickly biting my lip. No one should spend the day with someone they didn't want to be around.
"Drake. Sweetheart, whose your friend?" I asked batting my eyelashes at him. Draco looked absolutely shocked for a moment before he quickly controlled himself and gave me a smile.
"Alice, this is my girlfriend Jean, Jean this is Alice – er I don't know your last name." He said turning to look at her. She flushed angrily and stamped her foot.
"Longbottom, Alice Longbottom! Daughter of the head of the Auror department, Neville Longbottom and the international model Lavender Longbottom." I froze my mouth wide and darted a look at Neville. He looked just as shocked as I felt. I turned back to Alice and looked her over. Yes I could see Neville in her, she had his hair color and bone structure but she had Lavender's poise and eye color.
"Oh that's cool." I said absently stroking my fingers against the back of Draco's hand. He shivered but didn't say anything. She looked between Draco and I her eyes large.
"I'll see you in class Drake." She finally muttered then made her way over to the Hufflepuff table. A loud laugh behind us made us all jump and I quickly snatched my hand away from Draco's.
"Guess you don't like Alice." James said a large smile on his face.
"She's a little -" I started but Draco cut my off.
"She's bloody annoying. She kept batting her eyes at me and acted like Pansy!" He muttered disgusted. Neville's face turned purple and I quickly stepped on his foot. He jumped and glared at me. I shook my head at him and he slumped his head in his hand.
"Pansy?" James asked as Lily sat next to me I smiled at her and she smiled back easily.
"My ex girlfriend. She was completely mental!" Harry, Ron, Neville and I all laughed. Yeah Pansy was a piece of work.
"I know exactly what you mean mate." James said shaking his head. "I dated the head girl for a bit in our sixth year. Dad was happy but her dad was furious." He said shaking his head a bright smile on his lips.
"Why didn't it work out?" I asked tossing my hair over my shoulder.
"She steadfastly followed rules, always has. Her mum was a huge stickler for rules too. Unfortunately she didn't like all of Lily and my extracurricular activities. We like to, how should I say it, experiment."
"On what?" Neville asked his eyebrow raised.
"Pretty much anything." James said with a shrug. "Breeding new creatures, creating new potions, fusing plants together, we try it all."
"But you could get expelled!" I said immediately my eyes wide. Lily snorted and James shook his head his eyes bright.
"Oh don't worry we'll never get expelled," he laughed happily and threw a grape into his mouth. "not when dad's minister."
